Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups chocolate chips (milk, dark, or semi-sweet)
• ⅓ cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
• 1 cup rice cereal (like Rice Krispies)
• Flaked sea salt (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Melt the Chocolate and Peanut Butter

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and peanut butter.
2. Heat in the microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the mixture is completely smooth and melted. Be careful not to overheat, as chocolate can burn easily.
3. Alternatively, melt the chocolate and peanut butter together using a double boiler over simmering water.

Step 2: Mix in the Rice Krispies

1. Once the chocolate and peanut butter are melted and well combined, add the rice cereal to the mixture.
2. Gently fold the cereal into the chocolate mixture, ensuring all the rice cereal is coated evenly.

Step 3: Spread the Mixture

1. Line a baking sheet or a square baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Pour the chocolate-cereal mixture onto the lined sheet and spread it out evenly with a spatula to your desired thickness.

Step 4: Add the Finishing Touches

1. While the mixture is still soft, sprinkle flaked sea salt on top. This step is optional but highly recommended, as the salt adds a perfect contrast to the sweetness of the chocolate.

Step 5: Let It Set

1. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator or freezer and let the bark chill for 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until it is completely firm.

Step 6: Break Into Pieces

1. Once the chocolate bark has set, remove it from the refrigerator and peel off the parchment paper.
2. Use your hands or a knife to break the bark into bite-sized pieces.

Tips for Success

• Chocolate Variations: Use a mix of milk and dark chocolate for a richer flavor, or substitute white chocolate for a sweeter option.
• Add-Ins: Feel free to mix in chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or dried fruit for added texture and flavor.
• Storage: Store the bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

This Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispies Bark is as easy as it is delicious. It’s the perfect recipe for when you need a quick dessert that’s guaranteed to impress. Enjoy every crunchy, chocolatey bite!
